Thanks to all who gave advice. I will take it to heart, and hopefully do better on the interviews I have in the upcoming weeks.

And I think I blew it. I went through possible questions I would be asked last night, but I didn't practice my answers out-loud. This was a mistake. I came off far less eloquent and articulate than I actually am. There were several 'ums' and 'uhs' that I was telling myself to avoid beforehand. One question came completely out of the blue and caught me off guard. I probably stalled for 6 or 7 seconds before I started an answer to that one. The sad part is that I genuinely wanted this job. I'm feeling pretty depressed right now, just needed to vent. Do any of you have advice or your own stories about the interviewing process?

That's just the dreaded 'towel drill'.

Go to page 7 and look at the picture of Crede making contact, then look at the Iguchi picture. Compare where they are focused. You'll see my point. I was wondering the same thing you were at first. Maybe this is actually a pic after contact, and he's looking up to watch the hit?

Bring back the cheat. Happy Birthday. (update your blog to celebrate!)

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) There are a group of decent musicians still around. Just that many of them aren't mainstream or "Chart Toppers". You actually have to look around and find them for yourself. You're exactly right. I hate when people are so willing to generalize all music of our era because they're too lazy to find something new. You have to look beyond MTV, radio, and the Billboard awards. To say all of today's music is terrible is just ignorant and insulting.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) APRIL...APRIL...APRIL... My key to the season is april. I don't like to hear players say it is early.. I look at the 2000 season when the sox stormed thru april and that momentum got them to October. KC a couple of years ago had a bust-out beginning of the season and it kept them in contention the whole year.. granted they didn't make the playoffs... I would have preferred the 2000 team do more in the playoffs, but right now I'd like to get back to the playoffs... maybe small ball will fair better than home run ball come October... the sox need to take advantage of the teams that are slow starters and they will have solid ground to stand on in October.... what are your key/keys ???? June was the key month in the 2000 season. If you take away 2000's April and June, you have a mediocre team.

That's a keeper.

funny pic of Rowand.

All elitists please leave.

At least they went out on a high note. I started playing guitar because of Tom. Blink had so much fun, and never took themselves seriously.

That's thin for at least 200g of sugar a day.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) I drink so much pop you would all be sick. Around 5-6 cans of Cherry Coke a day. How much do you weigh?

He's such a good hitter that he doesn't even have to watch the ball to the bat. I mean, what's he lookin' at?

thanks for those wh.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) will you describe please? Armor For Sleep call themselves 'dream rock'. I'd call it an alt/indie mix with some elements of electronica and hardcore. The cd is written from the perspective of someone who just passed and is looking back down on earth. So the lyrics have an interesting spin on them. Gym Class Heroes is a fusion of hip-hop, crisp guitar, and deep bass lines. Drumming is pretty solid. Interesting lyrics as well, dealing with everything from artistic expression, discrimination, pill addiction, and girls. PM me if you have AIM, I could hook you up with anything from my collection.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) I'll recap after the show for anyone interested. Please........ record it if you can.

Two great cd's bought today: Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles

KW: Ozzie, rock doesn't beat paper. OG: ::pouts::

I just saw a commercial for the game featuring Mussina and Manny. It said in stores now, but they must be one day early.

Cleveland's bullpen is a lot better than most of you would make it seem.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) Again?? Yeah, the Tribe were 80-82 last year.

BTW, avg career ERA+ of Sox starters: 110.2. Avg career ERA+ of Indians starters: 100.4.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) Santana, Radke >>>>> Buehrle/Garcia Career Park Adjusted ERA+ Buehrle = 125 Garcia = 114 Santana = 136 Radke = 114 Okay, they're better. But 5 inequality signs?! Come on.
